Recent Testimonials by Brand Ambassadors on their Experience with Whom You Know

"I work with Peachy Deegan because she's prolific at what she does. She's a hard worker, she's thoughtful and she's tasteful at what she writes which is very important. Peachy gets the facts correct, and just that alone is worth its weight in gold."

"We at Primola love working with Whom You Know and are proud to have been a highly-ranked Manhattan restaurant by Peachy Deegan since 2012, and are featured seasonally. We appreciate the fantastic work Peachy does highlighting our cuisine with her sublime writing style and the whole neighborhood of the Upper East side. Also, we are glad that she has started a Made in Italy column! If you have the opportunity to be considered for review, we'd highly recommend working with her."

"My Irish soul sister has created an incredible presence for my signature Donna Degnan brand on her multi-media sites. I applaud her tenacity and professionalism and I deeply appreciate her personal attention to not only me but also to everyone she highlights. I was deeply honored to be featured in Whom You Know's 'Made in America' column. As a fashion designer, I am very proud to produce my entire collection in New York City and so impressed with the wonderful job Peachy did introducing me to her many followers."

"Peachy is just that. We interviewed when my show hit US screens and was polite and friendly. She covers a lot of bases and asks for detail others don't which helps to deeply engage an audience. Twitter and my site both showed massive traffic and lots of other enquiries followed. She's a peachy gal!"

Peachy Deegan is a gem. She is wonderful to feature our Irish brands in 'Whom You Know'! The articles are beautifully and passionately presented, bringing products and brands to life, making both relevant and fun for her many faithful followers to read. I am immensely proud for our hand-crafted products to be included in this venue!"

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty betweenPeachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"

Bill Boggs, a Philadelphia native, is a four-time Emmy Award-winning TV host and entertainment industry insider . He has been a major figure in the lifestyle, food, travel, consumer, sports, news, and celebrity reporting arenas for more than 25 years--hosting fifteen different TV shows, including of the New York based "Midday Live with Bill Boggs" and NBC'S "Weekend Today In New York," and the long-running Food Network hit, "Bill Boggs Corner Table," Bill has interviewed many of the most notable personalities of our time - including cultural icons, presidents, international leaders, writers, athletes, celebrity chefs, authors, and movie stars ranging from Gloria Swanson to Renee Zellweger.

Bill is the on-stage personality for Simon Super Chefs Live, a 24-city culinary food and wine show presented around the country in Simon Malls. On TV, he pioneered the first-ever national restaurant review show, "TV Diners" on Food Network. He's interviewed notable guests on CNBC, MSNBC, ESPN, and has had two series-- "Historic Traveler" and "Freeze Frame" on the Travel Channel. He is seen frequently as guest host of ''The Call" on NY1.

In 2003, Boggs debuted his one-man Off Broadway show, "Talk Show Confidential," now playing at the Triad Theater in NYC. It's the first theatrical production of its kind, dealing with the alternately bizarre and inspiring world of talk shows. The show features rare video clips, archival photos, and music blended with monologues. He starred in the Off Broadway hit, "Our Sinatra."

In April, 2007, his book, GOT WHAT IT TAKES? Successful People Reveal How They Made It To The Top, based on his interviews with 44 leaders in their fields, was published by HarperCollins. Bill is a sought-after motivational speaker--with stories of self empowerment drawn from first-hand experience with some of the world's most successful people.

He has written both essays and travel pieces for The New York Times Times, and is a featured columnist for BLACKTIE INTERNATIONAL MAGAZINE. In 1980, Grosett & Dunlap published Bill's novel, At First Sight.

Boggs has always displayed unique versatility, illustrated by his roles as a game show host for CBS, a news anchor for WNBC-TV, moderator of a steamy late-night series on ABC-TV, and as host and executive producer of the syndicated FOX-TV series, Comedy Tonight. For nearly a decade Boggs also served as host of "Championship Boxing Update" For Showtime.

Bill began his talk show career in High Point, N.C. where he produced and hosted the syndicated ''Southern Exposure with Bill Boggs."

As an executive producer, he helped to create "COURT TV" and was also the executive producer of the ground breaking "Morton Downey,Jr Show."

In March of 2008, Boggs was named celebrity correspondent for the new syndicated television show, "My Generation." His profiles of well-known people will include elements inspired by his book, Got What it Takes?

Bill has a son, Trevor, and in 2000 was honored as a Father of the Year by the National Father's Day Committee. He is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania and also has a Master's Degree from Penn's Annenberg School. He is on the Board of Governors of the Friars Club Of New York, a member of The New York Athletic Club and a member of The Yale Club.
